Commonality creates dialogue which determines fit. Finding a partner who is a fit for your stage of development and product has to be paramount. Dialogue based on fit facilitates relationships which, when nurtured and developed, leads to friendships and transactions. Building a successful partner relationship requires enhancing your perspective by trying to stand in the other persons shoes and always checking in with simple yet revealing questions.

• How do you think we are progressing thus far?
• What are your thoughts about going forward are we moving in the right direction?
• We have met a few times can you share with me where you are at presently and what you feel needs to get done?

These “check-in” questions are easy to ask and non-threatening but asked at the right time can put you in context on where your potential partner is at.  Being in context is one of the keys to creating a dynamic partnership.

At our last RESI conference in Boston this past September, we were excited to see so many different company types showcasing their product and/or services. Exhibitors included service providers, tech hub groups, and even some startup companies who brought their products for live demonstrations to the RESI community.

Exhibiting at RESI is a great way to promote your company and it provides a lot of additional visibility and opportunities to meet other attendees and network in the early-stage life science industry. Click here to learn more about exhibiting at RESI JPM in San Francisco January 10-12.
